This morning I predicted a Tim Thomas start for the Bruins against Montreal tonight.

I was wrong.

Tuukka Rask will get the start against the Canadiens, who will counter with Carey Price.

In his one games this season against Montreal, Rask allowed three goals on 41 shots and took the loss. For his career, Rask is just 1-4-1 vs. Montreal with a 2.51 goals-against average and .919 save percentage.

Rask was the back-up to Thomas in the Bruins’ prior two games. Before that he played two in a row and beat Edmonton and Ottawa.
